Some republican Senators in the "find out" stage

[Crepitus]

Her post on facebook:

Dozens of Alaskans – potentially over 100 in total – are being fired as part of the Trump administration’s reduction-in-force order for the federal government.
Many of these abrupt terminations will do more harm than good, stunting opportunities in Alaska and leaving holes in our communities. We can’t realize our potential for responsible energy and mineral development if we can’t permit projects. We will be less prepared to manage summer wildfires if we can’t support those on the front lines. Our tourism economy will be damaged if we don’t maintain our world-class national parks and forests.
I share the administration’s goal of reducing the size of the federal government, but this approach is bringing confusion, anxiety, and now trauma to our civil servants—some of whom moved their families and packed up their whole lives to come here. Indiscriminate workforce cuts aren’t efficient and won’t fix the federal budget, but they will hurt good people who have answered the call to public service to do important work for our nation.
My staff and I are in close touch with agency and department officials, trying to get answers about the impact of these terminations. Our goal is to forestall unnecessary harm—for people and Alaska’s federal priorities—but the response so far has been evasive and inadequate.



And re renaming Denali.

Every State will take a hit to one extent or another due to the reduction in force, things will shake out in the end, hopefully for the better.

Let's see if the Medicaid cuts go through.

There were a lot of Trump flags in front of trailer homes.

We have no eggs! Bird flu

 

[Puma Punku]

There is undoubtedly going be some amount of damage inflicted on good people with good intentions and the poor folks that have been receiving "aid"...That being said .."they" simply took it to damn far! The ridiculous expenditures, that we have recently seen were finally exposed, along with the waste fraud and corruption. It's too bad that those good "eggs" must be broken, but it is impossible to make an omelet without breaking some eggs. Unfortunately, for the "eggs" this "omelette" (cutting the waste) needed to be made.

The Democrats have claimed that "red" states receive more federal assistance than what flows to "blue" states, guess we'll be finding out.

You seem more upset that 100 lost their jobs than the 10,000 who lost their jobs the first day of Biden’s administration when he cancelled the Keystone Pipeline.

 

[Lisa558]

There are more than 15,000 federal employees in Alaska, and fewer than 1% got riffed. That’s doesn’t even count as a layoff.

I once worked for a corporation that wasn’t making profits and then ended up laying off 1/3 of all workers, myself included.

We have no eggs! Bird flu

Speaking of bird flu, I heard someone say, why aren't there other birds affected? Why only chickens?

 

[Crepitus]

That didn't happen. A few hundred people lost their jobs. All the rest of those jobs were only possibilities. No people were holding them.

And really nobody lost any jobs at all. The construction company starting the pipeline construction just sent those folks to other job sites.

So enough with the fake propaganda.

tRump's (really Elmo's) rampage against federal workers is costing tens of thousands of jobs, not just 100. It's already visible in the unemployment numbers.

They are. Chickens are extra vulnerable because of the close quarters they are kept in but other bird are dying.
